WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR TREATMENT?
• Swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness, and areas of firm nodules may occur.
• Cosmetic fillers are long lasting, but not permanent.
Longevity depends on the areas treated and your body’s metabolism.
• DO NOT APPLY ANYTHING TO THE SKIN UNTIL THE DAY AFTER TREATMENT: No cleanser, moisturizer, or makeup!
• DO NOT massage, touch, or manipulate the injection site. • Avoid heavy exercise the day of your treatment.
• Ice packs may be used to the treated area during the first 12 hours. Ice for 15 minutes on every hour.
• Avoid dental work for 30 days after filler injections.
• Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent dispersing the product. We recommend you sleep elevated on your back and use pillows to stabilize yourself.
• If experiencing swelling, sleep with head elevated for 2-3 days to decrease swelling.
• You may take acetaminophen/Tylenol if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort.
• Wait a minimum of two weeks (or as directed by your provider) before receiving any skin care or laser treatments.
• For most patients, the benefits of dermal fillers can be enhanced by using a medical-grade skincare system. Please contact your provider or a member of the staff for product recommendations.
• If you experience bruising, Arnica, a natural supplement can be taken to help bruising to resolve at a faster rate
